Coventry Senior Living Staff Report August 9, 2010 Page 6 The development area comprises 95,084 square feet (2.18 acres) with a 2010 total land value of $675,000. A 10% dedication amount would then be $67,500. The City Council should make the final determination on the fee amounts. Section 1204.02, Subd. 6 of the Mounds View City Code allows the applicant the right to appeal the park dedication fee. Easements: The standard city required easements along the property lines are included on the site plans and would be dedicated by plat. Major Subdivision Summary: This major subdivision request meets City Code requirements. The preliminary plat and title commitments have gone through a legal review by the City Attorney. The payment of the park dedication fee and trail contribution amount will be required before the City signs the final plat for recording with Ramsey County. PLANNING REQUEST SUMMARY The Coventry staff has held two neighborhood meetings about this project – one in March and the second meeting on Monday, July 19, 2010. Several residents attended the first meeting in March and one resident attended the July meeting. At the March neighborhood meeting, attending residents did not like that the facility only accessed O’Connell Drive. They did not want any additional traffic in their neighborhood. The developer then turned the building around and now the traffic for the site only accesses County Highway 10. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission considered this proposal at their July 21, 2010 meeting. Staff mailed letters to property owners within 500 feet of the project site to notify residents about the meeting even though it was not a public hearing. No residents attended the Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission voted unanimously 6-0 (Stevenson absent) to approve the rezoning, development review and preliminary plat. Public Notice: Public hearing notices were mailed to residents within 500 feet of this project (a larger area than the required 350 feet) and the notice was published in the newspaper. City Staff received one email comment, which is included in this report. Deadline for Action: The city accepted this planning application on July 14, 2010 and in accordance with MN Statute 15.99, a decision shall be made within 60 days of application acceptance. The deadline for action for this request is September 12, 2010 unless the city exercises its option to extend the timeline for another 60 days.
